The injury was initially suffered during a Feb. 25 fight against the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Mike Brown. He was initially expected to miss two weeks. However, after having surgery, McGinn will be out four more weeks, general manager Paul Holmgren told CSNPhilly.com.

Philadelphia is also without forward Matt Read, who is recovering from torn muscles in his rib cage.

Earlier in the week, the Flyers reacquired winger Simon Gagne to boost the club’s depth up front with all the injuries.

Despite the injuries, Philadelphia is back to .500 with an 11-11-1 record after defeating the Ottawa Senators, 2-1, on Saturday. The victory was the Flyers’ fifth in seven games.
